Building perl and libs on HP-UX

I must keep this somewhere in one place semi-permanent...boring stuff plus hoops to jump through to get XML(LibXML and LibXSLT), and DBD::Oracle and DBD::Sybase working on HP-UX (I have no explanation for having to run 'perl Makefile.PL' over and over). I don't remember if I needed to use 'chatr' to change some of the shared libraries to get them to load:

All of the following was installed under/users/fooAdjust all prefix parameters accordinglyto install in another directory (or removeto install in default location).----------------------------------------

install binaries of zlib(libz), iconv, and gettextlibraries, unless you really feel like building them(install in local directory if necessary..e.g./users/foo/liband include files in/users/foo/include).
